France 24, BBC and The Washington Times report that a localized ceasefire in Ukraine's Kherson region was set to end Sunday evening. The truce began early Tuesday and was described as the longest of the war in the region. A Ukrainian official told AFP that Kyiv offered an extension and that Russia did not want one, according to France 24. The truce enabled a humanitarian mission to the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky and allowed residents to evacuate. Neither side reported violations after it began, France 24 says. Fighting continued elsewhere. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia struck energy infrastructure in four regions overnight, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes without power, according to BBC.
